“Let thy food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food” ~ Hippocrates 

Many people see quotes and do not think much about them, but there is something we can learn from others, and that is, out of their quotes was their experiences. Hippocrates sad a mouth full there and he shared with us a simple truth. A truth we had since the beginning of time. When God created the earth, he said all he created was good, Genesis 1. There are so many plants, herbs, veggies and fruits that are truly medicine and less expensive than modern day medicine. Do you know how many people have been healed from Cancer, Diabetes, Heart issues, Common Colds, etc. from just eating a healthy dose of fruits and vegetables? God has already provided us everything we need, are you paying attention? I hope you come to the realization who truly have your best interest in mind. Everything God created is good.  And God Saw That It Was Good Did you know if you have a headache and you rub a small amount of peppermint oil on your forehead, you headache will be gone? Try it.  

Here is a simple list of must have herbs, fruits and vegetables you want in your kitchen and garden. Many of them are anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, antimicrobial, anticancer and just a great source for overall health. I also share a short list of benefits, but you can do your research on each and see their many benefits.

Vitamins & Minerals you want to add, if possible, made as plant based: Vitamin D, Vitamin B12,  Iron, Zinc, Selenium, Calcium, Magnesium, Iodine. If you are already eating food that is providing a good source with these vitamins and minerals in it, then adding more is not necessary, remember with everything balance. This is a very short list, compare to all God has created, but it’s a good start and things you can implement in little ways. You can cook with them, juice them, make tea with them, anything your heart desires. Hope this encourage you to look closer, God has already provided.
